A school student.BFarmers are increasingly using high-tech tools to lower their costs, increase the amount of crops they grow and add to their profits. But they are not just using high-tech machines. They also employ services that gather information about their farms to improve their businesses.Shelley Finfrock and her husband use technology to operate their large farm with just their son and one employee. But Mrs Finfrock says technology cannot control everything. “Weather is probably the most important thing, and the most uncontrollable thing,” Finfrock said. She says weather affects every part of a farm, including the soil, animals that eat the crops and crop production. She says all these affect profit. The soil in the field near their farm house looks and sounds dry. But below the surface, it has enough water to allow corn seeds to grow. The amount of rain that falls can differ greatly from field to field on the farm.The Finfrocks farm in five counties, checking water levels and other conditions on such a large spread can take a lot of travel time. So for the past year, Mrs Finfrock has been testing an online service called Climate Basic. The service sends her a text message very early in the morning. It tells her how much rain fell on her farm in the past 24 hours. She says the service has worked so far.Tristan DOrgeval works at Climate Corporation, which developed the Climate Basic program. “We are dealing every day with more than 10 million points for precipitation (降水量), updated on an hourly basis,” DOrgeval said.Climate Corporation showed a more plex program this year called Climate Pro. It hopes the program will help farmers decide what to plant, and when to use chemicals that improve growth and kill insects. The program will even tell them how much money they might make.24. According to Mrs Finfrock, which of the following would NOT directly affect profit?A. weather.B. Crop production. C. Animals that eat the crops.D. Soil.25. What can we learn about Climate Basic from the text?A. It sends users text messages every evening.B. It hasnt been put on the market yet.C. It can predict rainfall over the next 24 hours. D. It belongs to a kind of online service.26.According to the last paragraph, the program, Climate Pro, will _.A. inform farmers of methods to kill insectsB. remend effective chemicals to farmersC. decide for the farmers what to growD. tell farmers how much money they might make27. The central point of the text is that _.A. farmers hope to get high profits with high-tech toolsB. technology cannot control everythingC. farmers use high-tech tools at a high costD. weather is the most uncontrollable thing CA few years ago, Michael Scullin began teaching the science of sleep to students at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The class centered round why the body needs to sleep and the physical and mental health problems caused by a lack of sleep. He said his students seemed to enjoy the class. But when he asked them whether they had chosen to get more sleep after what they had learned, most of them said no，so Scullin came up with a plan to get his students to sleep more. Scullin told his students that if they agreed to sleep at least eight hours a night for the last five nights before the final exam, they would get several extra credit points. But if they agreed to take part in the study and failed to get the required amount of sleep, they would lose points. The students would wear special devices that recorded their sleep data(数据).Only one third of all the 24 students agreed to take part in the experiment. Yet all the students who took part performed better in the exam than those who did not, even before the extra credit points were added.Daniel Bessesen is a medical doctor who researches sleep. Bessesen notes this study supports the idea that sleeping enough helps academic performance, and students who cram are likely to be worse off. “Cramming” is a mon activity for American college students. When students cram, they study most or all of the night before the exam. They get very little or no sleep because they think they will do better if the test material is fresh in their minds.In addition, for the students who have difficulty falling asleep, Scullin offers some advice. For example, avoid looking at electronics before you are about to fall asleep and drinking anything with caffeine in it in the evening; try to go to sleep at the same time every night.28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Michael Scullins class focused on ways to get more sleep.B. Michael Scullin decided to help his students get more sleep.C. Most of the students got more sleep after Michael Scullins class.D. Most of the students didnt like Michael Scullins class29. How many students took part in the experiment?A. 8 students.B. 24 students.C. 12 students.D. 38 students.30. How can students sleep better, according to Scullin?A. By not drinking anything before going to bed.B. By going to bed at the same time very night.C. By lying on the bed and listening to music.D. By reading something on cellphones before going to bed. 31. What is the meaning of the underlined word “cram” in the fourth paragraph?A. Get well prepared before an exam.B. Try ones best to solve a problem.C. Study all night before an exam.D. Take part in an important exam. D There has been a lot of news recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile munication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity. The new 5G system promises more of the same.Before we can all use 5G, wireless panies and phone makers will have to develop a whole new system. New phones and munication equipment must be built. American wireless panies have been preparing for the new system for some time. They have been creating new network equipment and buying broadcasting space to carry 5G signals. They have built new 5G antennas(天线) to serve American cities and towns. And wireless providers will invest at least US$275 billion in 5G-related networks in the United States.The first U.S. launch（发起） of 5G is expected to happen sometime this year. Industry experts expect it will take a few more years to go nationwide. It will take even longer to reach rural areas. China is expected to launch 5G sometime in xx, while European nations are likely to build their systems more slowly over time. In the United States, the first 5G-ready phones should be available in the first half of this year. The first 5G iPhone, however, is not expected until xx. 4G phones will work on 5G networks, but not at 5G speeds.Wireless industry groups say 5G will help promote the development of future “smart cities” by connecting sensor (传感器) networks. Such networks will be able to control vehicle traffic and quickly identify streetlight problems. 5G is also expected to support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to monly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation（自动化） and improve the collection of information.32. pared with earlier “G” systems, 5G _.A. produces wireless technologyB. improves internet speed and network capacity C. makes the internet available all over the worldD. changes our munication mode33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The things that 5G can do.B. The time when 5G will be available.C. The efforts being made to enable 5G possible.D. The money that will be spent to enable 5G possible.34. What can we learn from the last but one paragraph?A. 4G phones cant connect to 5G networks.B. 4G will go nationwide in the U.S. later this year.C. European nations will build 5G networks later than China.D. The first 5G iPhone will be available in the first half of this year.35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text as a field for application of 5G?A. Medical.B. Transportation.C. Manufacturing.D. Catering(餐饮).第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Gretchen Rubin is an author who thinks about happiness for a living. She helped think through thequestion of whether you can use money to buy happiness. Short answer: probably not. 36 A lifetime happiness shopping list might go like this.Buy Better Relationships 37 Its a recurring(循环的) theme. “So if youre using your money to broaden or deepen relationships, thats a good way,” Rubin says. Use money to attend a college reunion or a friends wedding. Young adults often experience a period of socializing with friends, searching for life partners and networking for career opportunities. 38 Buy ExperiencesThe usual advice is “buying experiences, not things”, but that requires a deeper understanding. “What I find is that the line between experiences and things is not that clear,” Rubin says. 39 So buy experiences, especially with other people, but also think about buying material things that allow you to have experiences or strengthen them.Buy Peace of Mind“One of the greatest luxuries(奢侈品) money can buy is the freedom not to think about money,” Rubin says. “Financial security(安全) is something that really contributes to peoples happiness. 40 It provides cash for not only real emergencies, but also all those emergencies in our heads that never happen. Happiness is silencing the “what-if” voices. “The freedom from worry is a big drive to happiness,” she says.A. But you can use money to increase it.B. One thing that makes people happier is that they can control their time.C. The key to happiness is how you deal with other humans.D. Building an emergency fund is a good idea.E. All of these are possible sources of happiness.F. People have been thinking about the link between money and happiness.G. A bicycle can provide an experience, and a new camera can preserve one.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。School isnt always safe, especially when youre different from other students.
